Café Hector

1996 · 16 min

A short, sharp social farce that turns humiliation into a tense, darkly funny standoff.

Overview: Café Hector is the new in-place for the chic, high-flying, articulate jet-set, where steaming cups of cappuccino accompany their trendy chit-chat. Uffe is definitely not "in." He can't get a cappuccino, but he is given permission, just this once, to use the toilet. But Uffe is prepared for the situation. He can't take any more humiliation and he is armed!
How it feels: Dark, satirical, tense and absurd. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Class, revenge, identity, isolation
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
